This paper explores the relationship between new constructivist apprenticeship techniques meant to improve programming pedagogy [6][7] and student self-direction. Expand

We propose to review the increasingly important role that virtualization is playing in computing education from 2 perspectives; (1) Classrooms' system administration and technological advances which support the development of new pedagogies (2) Pedagogical advances which instructors can now implement thanks to these technologies and their impact on students learning.

This paper discusses the achievements of the SOFTICE project in undergraduate networking labs and compares our approach to alternative solutions which recently emerged in the CS and IT education communities. Expand

We propose an interpretation of Hamming-distance based FDC, which takes into account the GA dynamics and the effects of crossover operator. Expand

We present a comparison between the effectivenss of traditional genetic algorithm and dual genetic algorithm which has revealed to be a particularly adaptive tool for optimizing a lot of diversified classes of functions. Expand

This descriptive study discusses two conceptual difficulties encountered by students in introductory programming courses regardless of the chosen language or pedagogical approach (e.g. objects, classes or fundamentals first). Expand

This paper presents a comparison between the effectiveness of traditional sample genetic algorithm (SGA) and the dual genetic algorithm which is revealed to be a particularly adaptive tool for optimizing a lot of diversified classes of functions. Expand

This paper investigates the relevance of the immune system metaphor to time-dependent optimization (TDO). Expand

A Linux-based virtualization solution for IT courses leverages an open source approach for a low-cost, scalable cluster. Expand

We propose to use Dimension Extraction algorithm (DECA) inspired by coevolution and co-optimization theory to answer this question. Expand
